Causes:
Error 1603 is a generic error generated by the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) indicating that a problem occurred during the installation of your Autodesk product. This error is not specific to any particular Autodesk product, but tends to be specific to the system on which you are installing.
A certain file on the machine is locked, or setup attempts to reboot because of a locked file, which fails. To make sure that a locked file is not causing the error, close all applications running in the background, reboot the machine, and run setup again.
The Windows TEMP folders are full
The system temp directory is not clean. This is the temp directory that setup extracts files to and runs from. Either the temp directory does not have an adequate amount of space, or it has too many files that may conflict with setup files.
Clean the default temp directory and free up hard-disk space by removing unneeded files.
On the Windows Start menu, enter %TEMP% in the "Search programs and files" edit field.
In the Temp folder, press CTRL+A to select all the files and folders contained in the Temp directory and delete them.
Not enough disk space
This error is known to occur on machines that do not have enough disk space to install the setup and store rollback files. This space is generally required on the root drive even if the setup may be installed to a different drive.
Make sure that you have enough space on the root drive of the machine. This space is required by setup to uncompress files in the temp directory and to store rollback information in the Windows directory of the machine. Even though the setup may be installed on another drive, its imperative that the machine have at least twice the space as the size of the setup on the root drive (the drive with the Windows operating system installed on it).
Setup files were corrupted during extraction
Exit or turn off conflicting and competing programs, including such things as virus scanners, word processors, spreadsheets, web browsers, system utilities, etc. Then launch the installation again.
Short file name creation is disabled on the target machine
Enable support for 8.3 name creation, i.e. short file names, on the target machine. Navigate to the following registry entry:
A NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation value of 0, zero, enables the short file name creation functionality and a value of 1 disables this functionality.
Registry modifications require rebooting the target machine for the change to take affect and this should be done before attempting to launch the setup again.
Note: If the target machine should normally have short file name creation disabled, it can be disabled after the install completes by resetting NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation to its original value and rebooting.

Error 1603 during installation of Autodesk software
Jul 28, 2014
Issue:
Your Autodesk software installation failed and you encountered an error message mentioning "1603." Here are some common occurances of the 1603 Error:
Setup Logs:
Install <AutodeskProduct> <Version> Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
Dialog box during installation:
Error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation.
Other Messages:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express(AUTODESKVAULT) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (x86) Failed Installation aborted, Result=1603
Causes:
Error 1603 is a generic error generated by the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) indicating that a problem occurred during the installation of your Autodesk product. This error is not specific to any particular Autodesk product, but tends to be specific to the system on which you are installing.
Solution:
The Microsoft support article, "You receive an "error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation" error message when you try to install a Windows Installer package," addresses three possible causes for this error message. Of the three conditions listed by Microsoft, insufficient access permissions is the most commonly seen cause. Check the user rights and the permissions on the installation folder and verify that you are logged on to the computer as an administrator.
The following are some other 1603 error conditions and solutions we have previously diagnosed and documented:
A file is locked and cannot be overwritten
The Windows TEMP folders are full
Not enough disk space
Setup files were corrupted during extraction
Short file name creation is disabled on the target machine
